I've stacked watch shots taken indoors. I don't seem to have any luck outside. The spider above has moved its web over one of my windows. I thought I'd be able to catch it from inside the house through the glass but there was enough of a breeze to keep the web fluttering so focus was impossible.

I've never used Rodinal. When I started doing my own b&w I went with Cinestill's monobath. I switched back to D-76 when the monobath failed on the 4 x 5 sheets of Fomapan 100.

Thanks Wes, single, hand-held shot. Despite taking multiple images I couldn't get a decent stack.

Is this the park with a managed herd of 600 animals? We don't have those on this side of the pond...

Greetings Gareth! Great to have you and looking forward to seeing some of your stuff.

Maybe not? There's only enough room for about 3 cars. Of course, I have no idea what the parking was like at the other location.

Thanks Wes! I think the D700 is going to get used more often than some of the others I have sitting on the shelf.

I think it odd that the church was moved to this location from a relatively nearby original plot.

I suspect the Brightin Star is a gimmick lens. I'm bummed that my film got trashed, I really wanted to see it against the Zeiss Biogon and the 14mm Panasonic.

Where have you been hiding?

I visited the Mucha museum when I was in Prague.

I know the one on top also has 6 legs but the one on the bottom looks a lot creepier.

Ah, golden hour... :)

These Steiner builds are somewhat common here in Oregon with something like 100 + cabins built by them and two churches. They all exhibit similar build characteristics.
